The Hölty Prize (German: Hölty-Preis), established in 2007, is a lifetime achievement award given every two years to honor a German-language poet. The full name of the prize is the Hölty-Preis für Lyrik der Landeshauptstadt und der Sparkasse Hannover (Hölty Poetry Prize of the State Capital and the Savings Bank of Hanover).[1] With a purse of €20,000, it is one of the most generous literary prizes in Germany.[2] The prize is named for Ludwig Christoph Heinrich Hölty (1748–1776), a German poet closely associated with the region of Hanover.
